How friction can be a nuisance?
Friction can be a nuisance when it causes wear and tear -- on parts in machinery, on items of clothing, furniture, etc. Friction can also be a nuisance when it causes static electricity. The static electricity, depending on the circumstances, can cause anything from a mild shock and clothing cling to an explosion at a gas pump or near gas fumes in a building. It can also cause damage while work is being done on the insides of a computer.
